In the Star Wars universe or generally? EDIT: and if in the Star Wars universe, at which time? (Being a Sith in the Old Republic would probably be more fun than later, same for Jedi)
To keep it simple, let's call it generally. But if you prefer one of the other options, go with that.
I'd probably say I'd like to be a Jedi then. Preferably during the Old Republic. Maybe one that works in the great library they had.
I could never be a Sith. The need to kill your master or be replaced by the next apprentice, and/or your apprentice being encouraged to try and kill you, and everyone working against each other, constant backstabbing, that wouldn't be for me.
It looks like Republic rather than Empire - it's a Clone Trooper in the picture - so you're OK, you're serving in the best of the mainstream Star Wars armies qualitywise and filmwise.
To be honest I would probably go with @Aginor’s idea anyway - be a Jedi working in the Great Archives during the Old Republic era
I said Jedi because like @Aginor I couldn't backstab my master (unless we're talking about not being subject to the Rule of Two - then I wouldn't need to backstab him) and also I would be using my powers to help wildlife everywhere and generally (peacefully) stopping people from ruining worlds with their terraforming. Certainly they're the two best options, followed by 501st legion I'd say (where you're training with the best of the Clone Troopers, who are already the best of the Star Wars armies) then Bounty Hunter (you can customise your kit a lot more) then Shadow Troopers (you get a personal cloaking device, but that's about all you get - not a patch on Death Troopers) and finally flying an X-Wing, because X-Wings aren't really that good to be honest.
I'd take my pair of lightsabers (crimson and indigo/purple) and there would be a reckoning at Disney. Kathleen Kennedy thinks the force is female, she'd be shown the true power of the dark side!! (too much?)
Let's just say that hardcore Star Wars fans would be very much pleased with the new direction the films would take. Then we'd take a look at the MCU, and avoid the entire SJW debacle that it appears they are heading in. That is why it is better to be a Sith. You are free to follow your passions. But the question remains; can these changes be elicited from Hollywood?
Why does everything here have to be star wars or something main stream i haven't watched yet? i guess i'll choose the x-wing then. Shadow trooper comes in as a close second as i do like to be unseen and stealthy, and those cloaking devices could come in handy. Though how efficient are they and how long can you stay cloaked? Also curious about any other equipment as well. Actually, is the black camouflage or paint on the storm trooper's armor permanent? It's pretty retarded when you think about it
Based on the suggestion of working in the archives I would ideally be (if I got to become someone) Jedi Master Odan-Urr. He is really cool and very powerful. His lore is super interesting to.
I tried to discuss other movies but no one responded it was just me rambling about Glass and Alita Battle Angel.
